Top Catholic Songs – share, learn, promote

The Catechism of the Catholic Church proclaims that "from infancy to death human life is surrounded by their [angels'] watchful care and intercession. Beside each believer stands an angel as protector and shepherd leading him to life. Already here on earth the Christian life shares by faith in the blessed company of angels and men united in God" (CCC, n. 336). Our dear guardian angels are a special gift to each one us  that  we should thank and pray for their protection and inspiration everyday

REFRAIN
My dear guardian angel -  helping me all these years,

REFRAIN
On the last day when you come
 In Glory brighter than the sun
With all the angels and the saints        
We’ll sing that new eternal song

Jesus tells us in many ways that we must remain in him and persevere till the end. 

 

REFRAIN
O Spirit of the Father and the Son
Unify us in love with them as one
One church, one Faith one Lord
One Father of us all

Lord, you are the way, truth, and life

St Peter tells us in the first century about the Lord's coming.  2Peter 3: 3-10 
3 Above all, you must understand that in the last days, scoffers will come, scoffing and following their own evil desires. 4 They will say, “Where is this ‘coming’ he promised? Ever since our ancestors died, everything goes on as it has since the beginning of creation.” 8 But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord, a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day. 9 The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.

I thank you, Lord, with all my heart,
you have heard the words of my mouth.
In the presence of the angels, I will bless you.
I will adore before your holy temple.

I thank you for your faithfulness and love
which excels all we ever knew of you.

Just as the Lord sent the greatest of prophets to prepare his way at his first coming, he now sends us the Queen of all prophets to bring us back to him with our whole hearts.

The Queen of Prophets you send to us

REFRAIN

O Jesus - human love divine
You turned water into wine
O Transform our broken hearts
Unto hearts like yours divine

You trusted with childlike simplicity

REFRAIN

Hail holy queen - mother of mercy
Our life our sweetness and hope
To thee do we come - help us be
Holy, as the Father wills us to be

Without original sin you were conceived

Father in your son we abide
And in his church his holy bride
Through him, you give us all grace
In him, we see/adore your holy face

In every time and place

O divine/ creator spirit holy one
Spirit of the Father and the Son
O breath of their divine love
In you/ they live now in us

Inspire us to sing pure love songs
And of heaven for which we long

second half of Psalm 103 strophes 8 to 12 

Praise the Lord, my soul!
8 As a father has compassion on his children,
so the Lord has compassion on those who fear him
For he knows how we are formed,
he remembers that we are dust
  9 As for man his days are like grass,
  he flowers like a flower of the field;

I wrote this song at the request of my son when he and friend led a group of young people to world youth day in Lisbon

My soul give thanks to the lord
all my being, bless his holy name.
  
My soul give thanks to the Lord
and  never forget  all his blessings
who forgives all your sins
and heals all your ills,
 
who redeems your life from the pit
and crowns you with love and compassion,
who satisfies your desires with good things
so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.
    
The Lord does deeds of Justice...

1)We are living temples of your Holy Spirit
The spirit of truth and love your holy gift
He comforts, admonishes, and inspires us
To be the hands and voice of your divine Son

2) He teaches all truth and  things to come
In him we porcelain that Jesus is lord
